Are hatian “hate” and hátian “become hot” one word?

No. Bosworth–Toller lists separate headwords with different vowel quantity, meanings, examples, and Germanic comparisons. Modern typography that drops macrons can hide the distinction.

WORD UNDER REVIEWDISPUTE 368

hatian

/ˈhɑ.ti.ɑn/ · Old English weak verb

An attested Old English verb for hating whose objects include persons, enemies, vices, and deeds. It continues a reconstructed Germanic weak verb commonly represented as *hatōjan-, but published reconstructions vary, its relationship to the noun base is derivational rather than direct word-to-word descent, and the proposed deeper Indo-European route remains semantically opaque.
